Muddy business or how to deal with dirt at the music festivals

Most festivals happen in the great outdoors, which creates a random natural chance of being blown by wind, burned by the sun or getting wet because of the rain. And sometimes, you might be (un)lucky enough to literally dive through deep mud.

This last situation might be the less appealing, because if you don’t have a pair of gumboots or the famous Wellies to protect your feet, you will be mashing dirt with your favourite sneakers.

Let’s remember some festivals where dirt unavoidably became part of the lifestyle, and some places where ‘muddy times’ are still not easy to forget:

The well known stereotype about the weather in UK justified itself on Glastonbury festival this year, causing a lot of trouble to everyone, but especially to festival goers. Unbearable amount of dirt as a result of 5 full-on raining days, made it extremely hard to leave the festival area.

Visitors of this rock-festival got kinda used to mashing mud year after year, and they are well prepared for any kind of weather surprises.

On the other hand, after a rainy summer day it may become extremely hot .The sun mercilessly burns russian rockers. In 2016, around one thousand people needed medical help due to severe sunburns and some of them were urgently taken to the nearest hospital.

To chill the crowd organisers used water cannons that not just helped people to survive the heat, but also made the hot festival experience much more fun.
